This area is exploding! We had a very powerful sacrament meeting yesterday. It was all missionary work. Elder Albert, A returned missionary (recently returned from Pocatello Idaho), and I spoke. (Just to slice off a piece of humble pie, pretty much everyone complemented me on my talk after the sacrament meeting, I did use some of Dad’s ideas though so he gets the credit). But it was great! The spirit was felt very strongly, and we have a new level of excitement in the ward, thank goodness =).

I am feeling old out here. My whole mission I was wondering when I was gonna get someone with more experience so that they could help me work, and learn how to do good missionary stuffs, but now I AM that missionary! Its pretty crazy… I’ve never really noticed a drastic change (obviously not) but it has happened anyway. Luckily I’m not like some elders who look mature because they are balding, or are just uglier, or are getting more moles and stuff like that, so yeah. =)

One reason I love Xela is because they have dumb little parks like this! This place is literally called parque, or park. hahaha. Lots of trees and gazebos. It is summer so there are lots of Americans as well, you might be able to spot some in this pic… enjoy!
